Draught at Deep Ellum, Summer 2013
Somewhat cloudier-than-it-should be pour shows a marmalade colored body with an initially large white head that shows moderate to low retention.
Pleasant, light esters reveal banana and clove with a honey note from the malt. Sweet before the peppery phenols pick up, beginning to dry and balance the nose. But the excess sediment in solution dulls it somewhat and gives it a premature finish, with the aroma not really lingering or terribly high in strenghth. No flaws or alcohol noted, otherwise, which is very promising.
Lightly sweet malts give the lightest of pale sugar impressions while the fruity yeast and citrusy-tropical hoppiness washes over the palate. Good, true flavor, just muddled with some sediment-in-solution-dullness. Carbonation is low to moderate and could actually use a boost to really display the otherwise lighter hop aroma. And the cloudiness has to go, but those aren’t major concerns and I assume they will work that out.

Growler shared by Leighton at RBWG 2014, thanks! Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a lot of earthy and musty grain with a hint of flora underlying. Flavor is a bit thin with light grain and light flora as well as a touch of earthiness.

Growler thanks to WillRunForBeer! Pours cloudy golden amber, small creamy white head, nice lacing. Aroma is very citra-esque with a great combination of pine, citrus, dank forest floor, cat poss. Flavor is the same, light sweet and light bitter but bursting with hop flavors. Full body for the style, quite creamy mouthfeel. Reaching Pseudo Sue levels of quality here.

Growler shared at The Bruery - big thanks to Andrew for this one. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. Lovely stuff, all tangerine, minerals, pithy citrus. Super drinkable. Medium bodied with fine carbonation to average carbonation. Dry finish with some dank pee, more tangerine, flinty minerality. Just really tasty, highly drinkable IPA.
